<p>since learning that the shadow clone's all share there experiences with naruto and gaining experience via shadow clone training. shouldn't naruto gain experience every time an enemy defeats his shadow clones? what i mean by this is that throughout the series naruto's shadow clones have been a great way for naruto to overwhelm his enemy. </p><p>but even then alot of them were strong enough to the point that the shadow clones acted little more than distractions. in the end naruto always wins by luck or pulling off some unique win. with that being said naruto learns in shippuden that he can speed up his learning curve greatly. to give you an example. if naruto wanted to devote his time to practicing Taijutsu. if his goals were to gain 20 years of experience in the quickest amount of time. and he used 1000 shadow clones it would take him 7.3 total days to gain said experience. this itself is crazy for the simple fact that naruto could gain Gai sensei like skill in taijutsu in a week. </p><p>this brings me to another point. in his fight with kakuzu. naruto used his shadow clones to analyze and formulate a strategy. this was with the use of a couple shadow clones. like i said above each shadow clone is generally just a distraction. but with the shadow clones analytical abilities, shouldn't naruto's experience and skills rise at such a rate that by as the fight goes on, his shadow clones should be harder to defeat? </p><p>Bruce lee said fear not he man who practices 10,000 punches once.but fear the man who practices 1 punch 10,000 times. here is the thing though. naruto could pop up 1000 shadow clones have each of those clones throw 10 punches in 10 seconds. and gain the experience of practicing 10,000 punches in 10 seconds. </p><p>so in the end. if we were using logic. based on the analytical benifits of the shadow clone jutsu. by now naruto should have literally thousands of years worth of training </p>
